You say you love me,
But do you love the way my skin dimples in the light
Of my bathroom, you know, the one with the hair crusted sink
That my mom finds the strength to clean once a year
Cause you were raised on silver spoons and shiny silver plates,
Who the hell on this Earth needs a silver plate?
It seems you have become a prisoner in your own home
And I hope you'll look past my mother's maiden name
So that we can become the kids you know we are
Skipping stones into puddles, catching mud in our jeans
As I bleed on the concrete and you bleed into me
Alaska Nov 2021
So as we sat in the pews of your wooden home
And laughed at the lines that broke our bones
We kissed between the words that told us no
What else could we do to fill the holes

It's your forbidden touch that I want the most
it's your distant glare that touches close
Oh your smile, I'd love to boast
Secret love where no one knows

Today, you ask me what I’m on.
I say
Wouldn’t you like to know?
My friend,
Life comes and goes
I’m high off of my youth
Alive off summer nights
Mid-August fights
Tears shed, falling into my bed
Falling into your arms.
Tie-dye shirts, blue-eyed flirts, and mini skirts.
Tonight, I am drunk off your voice.
Dog days, Smoky haze
Tomorrow, I’m completely wasted off your laugh.
Mosquito bites, the same old fights,
I want brisk autumn nights
Comments are always greatly appreciated ❤️

So many people
Blowing up my phone
Yet somehow
I still feel so alone
Feeling empty in a room full of people
Alaska May 2020
just like that
you became just another stranger
who knows what keeps me up at night
and knows what makes me feel alive

Is it sad that if I was on my deathbed, I have no clue what I’d say to you?
would I tell you I’ve loved you for a lifetime or would I tell you that I hate you.
would I give you the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve held my heart captive since the moment our eyes met or would I just let you know that you never deserved my true love?
i guess we’ll just have to find out.
